After 44 minutes of playing time on yesterday evening's Pandora Swamp map I must say I am very disappointed! I look forward onto Event Horizon, however we play on a map which I find very depressing. It is a very ugly landscape, (especially compared to mountains in my university city) and in addition to ugliness there is a bit of lag.

I do not like map design OR characters as which we play; I do not like Halo 2 and I do not like to play as elites with shit alien weapons. Race game type and CTF were both not fun because of too much chaos and death, although Brutus Bicycle is funny vehicle it also causes very much lag!!!

HOWEVER there are some Pros for which I do award total of Five points out of Ten for this map:

-Dragon and Banshees fly in sky above map; this is good detail and show an ability of map maker, also creates battle atmosphere-The Rain-I liked the special effect for Grenade Explosion-Guardian Elites stand on top of Base in middle, very impressive!!

Overall Kirill is not satisfied with Event Horizon session of last night

HOWEVER Real world has created 90% fantastic maps and servers therefore I believe that coming weeks will be better! Next week I am in vacation in Italy, but after that I may make this to a weekly Blog! When I play in special event server I will post rating and summary topic the next day, so that other players can read opinion of Kirill before playing!

Pandor Swamp is a very original and unusual Map which supports all Game Types. You Play as Elites over a Highly Floral and Colourful Landscape, and offers Custom Vehicles and Weapons. It's fair to say many Weapons are Overpowered, (the Spiker is very effective though) and it's one of those Maps which Players either Like or Dislike. Many Vehicles are unique, (but without doubt are superb) and for this very fact alone is Halo CE at it's most creative side.

Pandora Swamp easily supports 16 Players, but can be played with less Players dependent on the Game Type. Variants of Slayer are good, but unfortunately CTF isn't great owing to the Map Layout creating Bottlenecks. Oddball is basically a waste of time, but KOTH is excellent. For a change Race is surprisingly good fun. However Juggernaut equipped with Sniipers is amazing, (and in my opinion is actually the best Game Type overall) but many Players had lost interest in Playing the Map after almost 90 Minutes of Play, although this Event lasted over 2 Hours

Personally I really enjoyed playing Pandora Swamp, and would definitely play it again.
